In this paper, we introduce a novel medium access control (MAC) protocol for Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) systems. This protocol exploits the Markov Chain Model of Slotted...
In this paper we propose an approach to variable selection that uses a neural-network model as the tool to determine which variables are to be discarded. The method performs a bac...
—Multigrid solvers proved very efficient for solving massive systems of equations in various fields. These solvers are based on iterative relaxation schemes together with the app...
In this paper, we explore the feasibility and performance optimization problems for real-time systems that must remain functional during an operation/mission with a fixed, initial...
A 3D biped with knees and a hip is naturally modeled as a nontrivial hybrid system; impacts occur when the knee strikes and when the foot impacts the ground causing a switch in the...
